Time is running out to make reservations for the Women’s Food Alliance visit to Colleen Messner’s Spice & Tea Exchange. The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. March 29. This includes a pre-reception prior to the 6 p.m. trolley boarding.
Guests will step into history in St. Augustine aboard a private Old Town Trolley. Then, the party gets started at The Spice & Tea Exchange, 167 San Marco Ave.
At the Spice & Tea Exchange, guests will find a creatively designed and prepared tasting menu of seasonal dishes and beverages.
The building housing the business is the 1870 Hildreth House, originally the north wing of the Hildreth Plantation House. Currently being restored, in the late 1800s it was home to the practice of “Dr. Percy Dreggors … Physician, Dentist and Undertaker.” Dreggors specialized in the painless removal of bullets and teeth.
All food and beverages at the event are being created by Colleen Messner and Angie Fletcher, using Spice & Tea Exchange specialty products.
The cost to attend is $44 if paid by check and $46 if by PayPal. Send checks to Leigh Cort Publicity, 68 Thicket Creek Trail, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081. PayPal payments may be sent to leighcort@bellsouth.net.
